(CNN) - Levi Johnston filed paperwork on Friday that confirms his intent to run for office in Wasilla, Alaska – presumably for the same office Sarah Palin held until 2002.
Filing a letter of intent is typically the first step local politicians take when seeking elected office. Johnston's filing permits him to accept campaign contributions.
In the Alaska Public Offices Commission form letter, Johnson filled out a blank stating he intends to run for office in the "City of Wasilla 2011" election but did not declare an office. But, Stone & Company Entertainment confirmed to CNN on August 10 that it is actively shopping a show that will feature Johnston running for mayor.
"Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office," will feature the trials and tribulations of America's most famous teen dad as he enters the world of politics while continuing to dabble in Hollywood, the production company also confirmed.
The incumbent mayor, Verne Rupright, won a 2008 runoff election with 466 votes. He took a shot at Levi after news of "Loving Levi" broke.
"Well, it is a little early to declare. Usually most wait until the year the seat is up," current Wasilla Mayor Verne Rupright said in a statement. "But since I am nearly old enough to be Levi's grandfather I think it would be wise for him to get a high school diploma and keep his clothes on. The voters like that!"

He's got my vote.
Is this a joke?
As if one moron from wasilla isn't enough. This is what our country has been reduced to, it's pathetic.
.... and the Carnival goes on!
They should have a show called the Wassilla hillbillies. It would feature Sarah as Elle May, Todd as Jethro and they could have a great time talking bout hunt'in moose and looking at Russia from their window.
They could have Ted Stevens be the unscrupulous bank owner.
PLEASE , WHY ME !
He should have photo shoot with Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina !
HP , Ebay and GQ !
Go Levi Go. You have to do as well as the previous Mayor-Sarah"only dead fish go with the flow Palin" Good Luck
To: Run Levi Run; you said, "Betcha SP will back his opponent." Well, then, he'll win.
So far Sarah Palin is 6-0 for endorsements. She endorsed 6, and all 6 lost their elections.
As you say, Run Levi Run.....but do it nekkid.
The people in Alaska must all be smoking hemp and have brain freeze. They elected Sarah Palin- you betcha!
"Dude – How about taking some money from that fame and getting a solid education". He couldn't run as a Republican then, considering how they seem to hate the educated "elite".
OMG!!! Is Wasilla the breeding ground of MORONS?? I hope the citizens of Wasila don't take his candicy seriously and vote for the other guy! What a putz!!!
What is the world coming to when a city (in Alaska or otherwise) will actually allow a 20 year old with the reputation he has to run for a political office. You just have to hope that the people in Wasilla are smart enough not to give him any money. But, who am I kidding, if there is indeed a reality show of course people will be lining up to give money to try and get their 15 minutes of fame.
As Forest Gump said "stupid is as stupid does" or whatever he said. I'm as Conservative as they come but both Levi Johnston and Sarah Palin are embarassing to Alaska politics.
Once again CNN is obsessing with Palin's family and its attention-seeking appendages (insert Levi here).
This should not be surprising considering that CNN & other left-wing media outlets did more "vetting" of Sarah Palin's 17 year-old, pregnant daughter than they did of Barack Obama back in 2008.
I guess CNN got tired of exploited Meghan McCain and her idiotic opinions. Before that it was Cindy Sheehan.
OMG – another Levi story. Who cares???? Can you guys stop writing about Paln and family. I'm a republican and I hate to tell you guys I don't care about Levi nor would I vote for Palin, although now that I see obama in office I think she may have done a better job then what you kool-aid drinkers voted in...
@ Texas Granny: THANK YOU! Finally someone with some sense.
Thank you CNN for keeping us abreast of the white trash family from Wasilla, AK.
What would we do if we didn't know, as before August 2008, what was going on in AK.
This might be a joke, but let's face it if Alaskans voted (by very few votes for mayor and governor) for that bimbo to be their representatives why not this guy.
Is he going to use his naked pictures like brown from Massachusetts. I think that helped win a few vote with the dumb women who fall for that kind of hype.
Hey Levi its time to show Sarah how its done, after all youre a lot smarter than she is
Levi reminds me of another set of White Politicians in CA, the Mendez Brothers after killing their father: Even though all the evidence showed they were guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt, The White females Juries thought they were so cute that they could not find them guilty in the first trial. LEVI WILL WIN ANY OFFICE THAT HE SEEKS not only in AK, BUT ANYWHERE THAT HAS LOTS OF WOMEN VOTERS. HELL IF SARAH PALIN COULD WIN IN AK WHY NOT LEVI
I would gladly contribute to his campaign. Where??? When??? How much???
Isn't this the way The Bush Family tree took root?
This guy continues to be a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic. Will he ever grow up and realize how ridiculous he is?
If Levi only knew what a public joke he has become. This stuff will haunt him his whole life. He will never overcome the stigma of his own bad behavior and be successful. From a trailer park to a trailer park.
I don't know who sounds the dumbest; some of you who respond to these stories or this nit-wit Levi Johnson. By the way Sarah palin is simply saying what many conservatives think. This is from a conservative democrat who has been aregistered democrat longer than many of you have lived.
This probably should make the News Paper and possibly the local cable channel in Wasilla. It shouldn't be on CNN. Stop encouraging this idiot before he turns out like Dan Quale's son.
...And I bet the people in Wasilla will be just as stupid to vote for him. They were dumb enough to vote in Sarah Palin. Now, Levi will probably marry her daughter!
